Description
During le last sixty years or so le field de Cotton research et production technology has reached new horizons especially en le areas de Cotton Improvement et Plante Protection through newer et more efficient technologies. Improvement en Cotton has provided more convincing evidence et definite use de biotechnology en Inde which has resulted en increasing le production et is next only to China en production. Dr. G.K. Koutu has been engaged en research avec special emphasis sur generating material that has been widely used across le country to develop high yielding varieties et hybrids avec very high yields et excellent fibre properties. Dr. P.P. Shastry is known across le country pour his pioneering work sur Nouveau Wilt de Cotton. Dr. D.K. Mishra, Professor & Head Department de Plante Breeding & Génétiques, JNKVV, Jabalpur has a distinguished academic record. He has been engaged en research et teaching. Dr. K.C. Mandloi has been one de le stalwart cotton breeders de le country. Le first naturally coloured cotton variety en le G. hirsutum category en Inde is an unparalled contribution en le field de ecofriendly production de cotton en le country. This publication is a compilation de almost all le developments en cotton production technology en Inde. Chapters II et III have been devoted pour crop improvement covering development de intra-hirsutum hybrids et straight varieties both en G.hirsutum et G.arboreum categories. Le IVth chapters deals avec le cultivation practices et le technologies evolved en le field de production technology. Le Vth chapter covers seed production technology. Two chapters have been exclusively devoted pour transgenic cotton et issues related avec biosafety de transgenic cotton. Since Nouveau Wilt has been one de le biggest constraints en hybrid cotton cultivation, one chapter deals avec this problem en sufficient detail. Organic cotton cultivation is gaining a strong foothold en le country et therefore it was felt necessary to deal this subject separately. Similarly, naturally coloured cotton has been dealt en a separate chapter. During le last decade, fibre quality has become le main focus both pour cotton breeders et exporters as well. This aspect along avec bye-product utilization has been focused en le XI et XIIth chapter.
